We have proven that we will not be dictated to. Do not follow trends. But prefer to write our own adventure stories. Such as that of a compact SUV that inextricably combines sportiness, design and everyday practicality: the new Macan.

Design

For us, aesthetics are not simply superficial. But always an expression of our personality.

With its dynamic overall look, the Macan is unmistakably a sports car. Its redesigned rear appears extremely powerful. Like a bold line under its own signature, the new characteristic taillight strip emphasises the Porsche logo, enhanced by the new four-point brake lights, both functionally and visually.

The broad shoulders above its rear wheels are reminiscent of the 911. And a further visual demonstration of the roadhugging nature of the new Macan.

Its flank is also typically Porsche. From this angle, every muscle appears to be energised – like a predator ready to pounce. Its roof line slopes to the rear just like a coupé, thereby creating a characteristic sports car contour with high aerodynamic quality. Our designers call this the Porsche flyline.

You are seeking one adventure after another, of course you want a full view. The sporty front seats convey a typical Macan feeling: you may sit high above the road, yet you are still closely connected to it.

As a sports car manufacturer, we understand that a car and its driver must form a single entity. So you do not simply sit in the Macan – but, thanks to its architecture, you are integrated into the vehicle.

The three-dimensional arrangement of the controls lends the interior a cockpit like character. The distance between the standard multifunction steering wheel and the PDK (Porsche Doppelkupplung) gear selector, as well as the main vehicle functions, is extremely short – via the ascending centre console, characteristic of sports cars. The ignition is on the left – as is typical of Porsche.

One highlight of which we are particularly proud: the new 10.9˝ touchscreen display in Porsche Communication Management (PCM). The new design boasts full-HD resolution with a start screen that can be fully customised. The new, intuitive menu provides even faster access to the main functions.

Performance and handling

It is no longer just about mobility. We do not simply drive in order to travel from A to B. Along the way there is much to discover and experience. Every second we want to feel that our life is dynamic, on the road and in our sports car.

Always focusing on absolute performance. As we would expect of a genuine sports car.

A Porsche delivers more than power alone. Such as the active all-wheel drive system Porsche Traction Management (PTM), traction, safety, outstanding steering and exceptional handling – clear evidence of traditional Porsche engineering.

And what about comfort? Also in plentiful supply, of course, with all the sporty and control features. The optional air suspension guarantees a constant ride height – on any terrain. Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) also actively and continuously adjusts damping force. For each individual wheel. The result? Increased comfort and sportiness – in all seats.

For us, driving a sports car is an intense experience, involving all our senses. But endorphins are not just released by performance and adrenaline. Thanks to the optionally available high-quality leather interior, the new Macan makes you feel happy as soon as you get in. With the ascending centre console beside the optional multifunctional GT sports steering wheel contributing to the genuine sports car feeling.

Your ears are also in for a treat: the optional sports exhaust system makes the typical Porsche sound appear even more powerful. Apropos the audio experience: the BOSE® Surround Sound System and Burmester® High-End Surround Sound System are available as options for the Macan models.

To be able to breathe freely while enjoying the experience, three-zone automatic climate control is fitted as standard. The optional ioniser is a new addition – for improved air quality that enhances your wellbeing.

Drive

In the new Macan GTS, the love of adrenaline is ignited by a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 engine producing 280kW (380PS). That’s 20PS more than the previous model. Two exhaust turbochargers in what is known as the central turbo layout ensure a spontaneous response. Maximum torque is 520Nm.

Chassis

Close contact with the road? Mandatory. Standard Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) lowers the new Macan GTS by 15mm, allowing you to really feel the tarmac. Not enough? The optional air suspension including PASM with self-levelling function and ride-height adjustment, unite opposites together from optimum comfort and outstanding athleticism: lowering your new Macan GTS by a further 10mm and offering even sportier tuning.

Still not enough? Optional Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus) improves driving dynamics and stability. Which also increases cornering fun by selectively applying brake pressure to the left or right rear wheel.

Exterior design

First take a deep breath. This is also a design principle: the front apron instantly catches your eye with its large cooling air intakes. The SportDesign package gives the air intake grilles and distinctive airblades a matt black finish. Overall, the front has a wide, sporty appearance that hugs the tarmac. The standard tinted LED main headlights including Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) optimally illuminate the road ahead and its bends.

The customary Macan sideblades are painted matt black and furnished with a high-gloss ‘GTS’ logo. 20-inch RS Spyder Design wheels in satin black are fitted as standard – ready for whatever you have planned.

If you’re looking for braking performance with the same ferocity as your thirst for adventure: the surface of the optional Porsche Surface Coated Brake (PSCB) is made of tungsten carbide. For consistently high braking performance, even during continuous use.

Interior design

Some people are happy to drift. Others prefer to be actively involved. And where better than in the GTS sports seats, in which simply sitting still would exact maximum punishment?

Everything else in the interior – with its typical cockpit character – is also designed to tackle your next adventure in a manner that is both intense and controlled. The optional multifunctional GT sports steering wheel provides extremely sporty feedback. With its manageable size, its design is a reference to the Porsche motorsport genes. In conjunction with the optional Sport Chrono Package, the steering wheel also houses the mode switch: various driving modes allow you to adjust your driving pleasure to suit your requirements.

What about the materials? Sporty, elegant, non-slip: Alcantara® on the seat centres, armrests and centre console. The standard leather interior package is complemented by decorative elements in brushed aluminium in black. Evidence of the fact that this model bears its own signature: the ‘GTS’ logo on the rev counter, door sill guards and headrests of the front and outer rear seats.
